I shoot also mostly with available light, and when the sun has set in the light of dim headlamps. So being able to push and pull shadows and highlights is extremely important. In that regard GH7 is no slouch, but it is not quite the same than Z6iii, ZR nor even S5ii was either. If you have a good HDR capable display (and I don’t mean your tiny phones, laptop or medium sized displays, but a 65” or bigger OLED with infinite contrast, or a JVC projector with good contrast and inky blacks) one must be a wooden eye to not notice the difference between SDR and HDR masters. At least with my grading skills the 6 stops of DR in SDR look always worse than what I can get from HDR. -

Probably. I just found it really overbearing. I personally don't bother with diffusion filters at all. The short, lacking detail reason is that I'll just use a vintage lens if I want a vintage look. And yes, your observations align with mine about using diffusion filters. On low-budget sets, they also add headaches on controlled shots as the DP is now complaining that the lights are interacting with their diffusion filter in a bad way, causing time loss due to coddling the darn thing. -

I think you're assigning more capability for logic to my government than they deserve. -
I'm sure you have heard the old adage of selling ice to Eskimo's, whether its useful or desirable is almost irrelevant, the main goal is to have you part with your money. Standard sales technique, sell the sizzle, not the sausage. There can be no greater exponent of this, than youtube at the moment. Full disclosure, i do consider myself to be one of the needy / slightly gullible as i sit here and count the 24 lenses from at least 4 manufactures. There's probably more, thats just the one's i can see. Hey, everyone needs a hobby right ? 🙂 btw does that gravel, come with gravy or wine to help wash it down ? I'm missing something here. Your using a single-focus anamorphic front adapter with a speed booster right ? Because i'm thinking with just a single-focus anamorphic front adapter on the lens and relying on anamorphic compression as a rudimentary type of light gathering and calling it speed boosted is being quite optimistic. Also adding a speedbooster and single-focus anamorphic front adapter is going to cost you some $$ I suspect this conversation is geared towards those that have been in the game for a few years and have a selection of lenses to work with. Adding a speed booster and single-focus anamorphic front adapter to the mix is pretty much next level for anyone just getting started. You'd really want to be confident in the look your going after i reckon. I'm that guy in the 4th lane doing it all wrong then... Personally i feel the whole tiktok, instagram, social media thing is a fad anyway. Mostly designed to dumb things down for those with a short attention spans and if you didn't have one before you will after.. I pity those those that watch their mobile in a vertical format. Here's a tip turn it 90 degrees, you'll probably double your field of view and widen your mind. 😉 I don't mean to be condescending but the whole vertical thing only works on a mobile phone held vertical right? Which is kind of a small market when you compare ipads, tablets, laptops, desktops, tv's are all 16/9. Although calling smart phones a small market might be doing it a bit of a disservice.. I find the whole turn anamorphic 90 degrees to shoot for vertical sounding a little gimmicky to me. I presume there are those who want the vertical format to be the next big thing, which means more tech to sell that influencers can flog through their affiliate links.. because you need this. It also wouldn't surprise me to find that shooting anamorphic in the vertical format and stretching it makes for a nicer image, thats easier to sell to our brains. It works with a horizontal stretch, so i figure it might work in the vertical as well, Bizarre thought i know, but there it is. Squeeze factors or ratios never died, never went anywhere, never even had a holiday, they have been doing exactly what they were designed to do, whether that is on mft, s35 or full frame or cinema. If you bought a 2x anamorphic, the only realistic thing you can do is apply a 2x de squeeze. Quite literally nothing else will work and look good. I like to look at the industry standard squeeze ratios as guide lines, boundaries that define a standard that most people find pleasing. Once you go past that, everything else seems a little gimmicky to me and theres science to back me up on this.
